Rising singer-songwriter Gatlin demanded our attention as she took us through the five stages of grief on her dynamic EP  I Sleep Fine Now. Weaving a rich narrative touching on themes of loss, transition, and hope, the body of work is framed by luxurious indie-pop and synth-led ballads. From the whimsical charm of opener ‘Really Funny’ to the palpable anger on ‘Paris’ and the cutting vulnerability of loneliness on ‘Lonely Life’, the EP showcases her lyrical prowess and her emotive pop artistry as she captures the fullness of existence. Tune into Gatlin’s vast yet delicate world in the coming year as she continues to meditate on life’s pain whilst celebrating the joy in it too. -Malvika Padin
